We make decisions and solve problems continually. We start making decisions before we even get out of bed (shall I get up now or not?). Sometimes, we will have made as many as 50 decisions by the time we leave for work. Despite all the natural decision making that goes on and the problem solving we do, some people are very uncomfortable with having to make decisions. You have probably looked at a solution to something and said, "I could have thought of that." The key to finding creative solutions is not just creativity, although that will certainly help. The answer rests in our ability to identify options, research them, and then put things together in a way that works. Having a process to work through can take the anxiety out of problem solving and make decisions easier.

Quality means different things to different people, but central to all definitions is that quality is about meeting a standard. One definition states that quality is 'the degree to which a set of inherent properties of a product, system or process fulfill requirement'. The standards or requirements involved will be defined by circumstance. What does need to be clear is what the standard is. Measuring and demonstrating whether the work is up to the standard is part of Quality Assurance.

A quality system in your research laboratory is the most effective and efficient way to, help scientists work more efficiently, ensure discoveries can be defended, protect the value of intellectual property.
